The Walk from Obesity is the only event that brings together those who are directly affected by the disease of obesity.  Participating in this event is key to drawing attention to the disease of obesity and the need for treatment and prevention efforts.  The event is fun, a great way to exercise and raises money for a worthwhile cause!

I'm going to check the website now.  Thanks for posting the information.

I may not be able to do the whole walk because I'm planning plastic surgery about 3 weeks before this but I'll do what I can....
